Sick of hearing about Clemens Yet?

If not, read on! Apparently Clemens is now claiming that Lidocaine and [vitamin] B-12 are what McNamee injected into him, not HGH or steriods.

Does he really think people are gonna believe him? If this was true, why wouldn't he have first told Mitchell that when he gave him the chance to defend himself way before the report ever came out? Why were these being injected into his butt, when that's not how they are normally administered (especially B-12 which is normally taken in pill form)? Why is McNamee's lawyer ready to sue Clemens for defamation?

Also, B-12? Is it just a coicedence that the drug they chose to claim he was being injected with is the same drug Palmerio used as a defense when he claimed that a tainted B-12 supply from Tejada was what caused him to test positive? Is B-12 becoming the scapegoat drug? Like maybe it is well know to trigger positive results when tainted so people are claiming it was that, a legal drug, that they infact took?

I will be after Sunday's 60 minutes.

Personally, I am going to love Clemens try and tip toe through an interview knowing that if he comes out and says he never took steroids with the Yanks and Bluejays, there are lawyers ready to slap a libel suit against him.

The last place in the world that Clemens wants to go is to court. He would have to tell the truth or finish the metamorphosis into Barry Bonds.

Re: Sick of hearing about Clemens Yet?

his claim is the set up to " thats what he told me he was injecting" and then he can claim that he didnt want or knowingly take them. then its a he said/he said thing that will never be resolved.

the difference between a yankee stadium hot dog and a fenway frank is that they dont sell yankee dogs in november anymore.

So, he is using the Alberto Gonzales play: Either you did not know and you are a dumbass or you are lying...

Great choice there Rocket, good luck trying to hide behind your lawyer during the hearing.
